Double hashing is a collision resolving technique in
Open Addressed Hash tables. Double hashing uses the idea of
applying a second hash function to key when a collision occurs.

Advantages of Double hashing

The advantage of Double hashing is that it is one of the best form of
probing, producing a uniform distribution of records throughout a hash table.
This technique does not yield any clusters.
It is one of effective method for resolving collisions.

Double hashing can be done using :
(hash1(key) + i * hash2(key)) % TABLE_SIZE

Here hash1() and hash2() are hash functions and TABLE_SIZE

is size of hash table.

"""
Hash Table is a data structure which stores data in an associative manner.
In a hash table, data is stored in an array format, where each data value has its own unique index value.
Access of data becomes very fast if we know the index of the desired data.

Thus, it becomes a data structure in which insertion and search operations are very fast
irrespective of the size of the data.
Hash Table uses an array as a storage medium and uses hash technique to generate an index
where an element is to be inserted or is to be located from.

Hashing is a technique to convert a range of key values into a range of indexes of an array.
We're going to use modulo operator to get a range of key values.
